Google to France: We Won't Forget It for You Wholesale

But then again, why should they have a right to ask google not to show a newspaper article that is legal for the newspaper to keep online?

It sounds like a end run around press freedom to me.

I totally understand your point and of course it had to be both in and ideal world. But if the web server is hosted offshore...

But again its strange because Google dont say they won't apply RTBF, they just say they will apply it on a per country basis... But from a technical standpoint this is even more complicated... So they basically say "we Google define the law" for everything that is "out" of your country.

Yet good luck to them defining what "out your country mean" in a global network.
